Appreciate what you wrote here, made me think, basically people can learn a difficult interface and work with it as long as it responds. You never get over a ui that is slower than you are. There is no excuse, apart from to say that it&#x27

So my visual system takes an image and projects it back through time to when I started moving my eyes to present a consistent image of the world? Or, alternatively, I have to be perceiving the past as time travel is impossible, I am living

You maybe right but I'm just saying people would do well to remember that this is what the police are for. To control you. The idea their treatment of people is down to "the law" is obviously false. They exert the power of th

They are never equivalent because we don't consider them fully human. I recommend anyone reading this who wants more to read Robert Fisk. The lives of poor people in these countries literally don't matter to us. They don't ma
